Z really overdid it this time. The Graveyard Rockers were the classic Halloween monster band at Cedar Point for 14 years. The Rocking Bones take monster music one step beyond with searing 60's garage rock, a howling sax plus a few choice Cramps covers. Then Vertigo-go kills it with blazing surf rock with a projected backdrop of classic monster movie trailers.

It's a new and way weird Halloween show you can't miss. Only $5

Zombo's Greatest Schmo On Earth Comedy Event

at the Hollywood Theater in Dormont
on July 11th from 7pm-9:30pm
It is not only the premier of the "funny" documentary "Schmo Bizness", it's a full night of entertainment
The film is a journey back to the cultural phenomenon, The Comedy Boom of 1980's when everyone under th...e age of 30
still living at home or mooching off a girlfriend was a standup comedian. It's also an odd chronicle of Those Generics Comedy
Team. A 15 year national touring comedy team that never struggled for success and pretty much got what they deserved.
The film documents a reunion of comics that worked in the trenches of grade B comedy clubs who haven't seen each other
in nearly 30 years. The backstory lines are illustrated with slickly crafted cartoon animation and the soundtrack is all original killer surf music.
Archival live footage and some aspects that defy description are all woven together to make this 70 min movie something out of
the ordinary (for better or worse).
AND..Live Comedy from local favorites, Davon Magwood and Shannon Norman
AND... Live Music..Surf band Vertigo-go provides a groovy set of instrumental madness on stage with rare old silent comedy shorts on the screen.
AND...Deschutes Brewery will be providing FREE beer!
A full length local comedy documentary, live comedy, live music with full visuals, and beer...
Welcome to the Greatest Schmo On Earth.

Here's the trailer to the film...

Zombo welcomes the world beat disco sounds of King Fez in the lobby at 8 p.m. and a screening of the Indian suspense thriller "Gumnaam" at 9. In this 1965 movie, an evening at a nightclub goes terribly wrong for a group of seven young people after they are told they have won the night's dance contest and are instructed to board a small plane that will take them to their prize holiday. Instead, they end up stranded on a small island with one of the plane's co-pilots. In search of shelter, the eight go to a mansion where they meet a sinister-looking butler who announces that he knows all them and has been expecting their arrival. After a few musical numbers, castaways begin dropping dead one by one. Who could the killer be, and will any of them escape his grasp? Spoiler- The mind blowing opening dance scene used in the movie Ghost World is from this film?

You don't want to miss this incredibly outrageous movie! Iron Sky..In the last moments of World War II, a secret Nazi space program evaded destruction by fleeing to the Dark Side of the Moon. During 70 years of utter secrecy, the Nazis construct a gigantic space fortress with a massive armada of flying saucers. When American astronaut James Washington (Christopher Kirby) puts down his Lunar Lander a bit too close to the secret Nazi base, the Moon Führer (Udo Kier) decides the glorious moment of retaking the Earth has arrived sooner than expected. Two Nazi officers, ruthless Klaus Adler (Götz Otto) and idealistic Renate Richter (Julia Dietze), travel to Earth to prepare the invasion. In the end when the Moon Nazi UFO armada darkens the skies, ready to strike at the unprepared Earth, every man, woman and nation alike, must re-evaluate their priorities.

SPECIAL GUEST Performance by ANDREW the IMPALED! Live music from Vertigo-go with their surf tribute to Germans and Space..featuring groovy versions of Der Kommissar, 99 Luft Balloons, The Model, Rock you like a Hurricane and others with killer space surf tunes! You really can't miss this night of complete madness!
